Police have arrested two people in connection to the aggravated rape of a girl under the age of 13.

Terrebonne Parish Sheriff Vernon Bourgeois said deputies began investigating the crime in the Chauvin area Thursday. Detectives learned that 19-year-old Brittany Lynne Martin and another woman solicited the young girl to have sex with 65-year-old Terry Leboeuf.

The sexual act happened on Sunday at an undisclosed location. The unidentified adult woman was paid $100, according to Bourgeois.

Leboueuf was taken into custody on Thursday. He admitted to being involved in a sexual act with the girl, but he denied knowing the victim was underage, police said. He has been charged with soliciting for prostitution and aggravated rape.

Later that evening, detectives arrested Brittany Martin and charged her with principal to soliciting prostitution, principal to aggravated rape and possession of drug paraphernalia. Detectives discovered seven syringes on her during a search, Bourgeois said.

Both Leboeuf and Martin remain in the Terrebonne Parish Jail on a $500,000 bond. They are set to be arraigned on October 10.

This case remains under investigation and more arrests could follow. Anyone with information concerning this investigation is asked to call the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office at 985-876-2500 or Crimestoppers at 800-743-7433, and may become eligible to receive a cash reward.

I can't quite figure out how to word my question here, but how does an "arrangement" like this happen between this guy and those obviously involved in drugs, and where is the child's protector/parent?

Sick, sick, sick.
Was the 12 year old girl's Mother arrested? If she accepted money so she'd keep her mouth shut about her daughter being sold as a prostitute she should lose custody of her daughter (& any other kids she has) and she should be in jail with the rest of these sickos, at the very least.

She's only 19??? She looks 40!! OMG, it's mind boggling what people will do to get their "fix"!! This is Disgusting, sick, despicable and outrageous!!

That poor little girl!!!!

Friday, Terrebonne Parish jurors found 36 year old Sheryl Martin guilty as charged for aggravated rape, which requires her to spend life in prison without parole.

In August 2011, Martin allegedly had her niece’s 12 year old friend have sex with 60 year old Terry Lebeouf in exchange for 100 dollars for her and her 19 year old daughter Brittany Martin. The Martin’s and Lebeouf admitted to the allegations and were indicted on aggravated rape charges, though Lebeouf and Brittany Marine have not yet gone to trial.
